Sprout
There is nothing unusual about sprout, maybe except her name. She has a normal family and a normal life, but one day something terrible happens: a sprout starts growing from the top of her head!
Sprout
“Sprout” is one of those projects that comes when I least expect it to. It was a procrastination project for when I was getting bored with “The Snow Cat Prince” and although it was unnecessary to spend a full two weeks on it, I think I needed it. It gave me a break from the computer and the biggest project I had ever started, and it was fun attempting to put it together so fast!
The idea for this small zine started, funnily enough, in the bathtub. I let it brew for a bit in my head but then I quickly got up and started sketching! I wanted to try and tell a visual story on the changes that happens when you start changing in your teens. Everything just feels off and you don’t fit in anywhere. But eventually you find your ground, the people you like and what you, as your own person, enjoys. These likes and dislikes are represented as sprouts in this short comic.

This project was so straight forward, and with no edits, the art was finished within a few days! I bought a sketchbook specifically for it and penciled/watercolored every page!
